Mafia Elite Series Box Set: Volume Two by Amy McKinley

This isn’t the first box set I’ve read by the author. The author knows how to keep readers entertained and keep coming back. Every book in this box set is amazing and I can’t wait for you to enjoy them.

Savage Secrets: An Arranged Marriage Mafia Romance (Mafia Elite #4)

This isn’t the first book I’ve read by the author. It’s also not the first book in the series that I’ve read. Each Mafia Elite book gets better and better. Max and Lil, Enzo and Sofia, Stephano and Em, and now Marco and Elena.

Marco is the Mafia boss for his family. He’s also the one who is sent to get Elena. He wants her to be his, but she doesn’t know of his feelings for her. Things happen that bring them closer together. The quote I chose for Marco is: “Going somewhere? Chloe James? Don’t think for one second I don’t know you’re Elena. I’d recognize you anywhere, in any disguise. This freckle, the shape of your eyes, the pout of your lips, even the smell of your skin. You can’t hide from me. It doesn’t matter what alias you use. I’ll always find you.”

Elena has been dead for the last four years in order to protect everyone she cares about. So when Marco shows up she runs because she doesn’t know if he wants her dead as well. He takes her back home and she finds that she’s getting married. The quote I chose for Elena is: “I’m not thrilled about it. Who would be? I found out I’m half Russian and related to a Bratva boss. Not exactly my dream evening.”

Ruthless Heir: An Enemies to Lovers Mafia Romance (Mafia Elite #5)

This is not the first read by the author. This is number five in the Mafia Elite Series. Each gets better and better. You never know what you’re going to get or what to expect.

Summer comes home from work to find her roommate and best friend dead. She knows what she has to do and she runs. She knows her friend’s ex is after her. The quote I chose for Summer is: “Stop bringing that up. It was a mistake and the first time I’d ever been to that bar. I wish I’d never gone.”

Luc is about to get the shock of his life. He’s got a half sister that he doesn’t know about. Will he be able to do what they want him to do? The quote I chose for Luc is: “Get John on the phone and make sure the interior designer starts updating this floor first. I want those cubicles gone. And find out more about the executive assistant I have. I discovered early this morning that they didn’t disclose Edward’s assistant was on maternity leave and a temp has been working here for three weeks.”

Collateral Damage: A Second Chance Mafia Romance (Mafia Elite #6)

Another fantastic read by the author. Collateral Damage is the sixth book in the Mafia Elite Series. This time it’s Trey’s turn. Only this time she might not die.

Trey might just be getting his second chance at love. Hailey has done nothing wrong and she tugs at his heart. Will Trey be able to save her in time? The quote I chose for Trey is: “Be careful how you talk to me, Allen. You won’t like the repercussions. Make it happen with the board, and I’ll see what I can do about your daughter.”

Hailey goes to meet her dad, only she doesn’t call Allen her dad. She falls for Trey but can’t let it be known as she doesn’t want to get her heart broken. The quote I chose for Hayley is: “So you took on his crisis rather than tell him to shove it? He could have gone to the cops. I don’t understand why you got involved. It seems like this is more of a headache for you.”

Rivals: An Enemies to Lovers Mafia Romance (Mafia Elite #7)

This isn’t the first book I’ve read by the author. So far every single book is amazing in its own way. This book tops them all though. This is the seventh book in the Mafia Elite Series. I really can’t choose my favorite book.

Mia comes from a different side of the mafia. She isn’t sure where to fit in only to find her love in the La Rosa family. She finds that her father isn’t really her father. The quote I chose for Mia is: “I’ve only been here, Chicago, and Grand Cayman. I’m not sure where I would want to go. Maybe Italy? It’s hard to believe I’ve never been there, being Mafia and all.”

Nico was engaged and then stuff happened. Now he’s trying to figure out where to go from here. He meets Mia and knows that he’s got to have her. Then stuff went down and now they’re putting their lives on hold. The quote I chose for Nico is: “My sister urged me to purchase property here even if I wasn’t ready to build. That’s ours. We can build a house whenever you want.”

Highly recommended for Mafia Romance lovers.

Mafia Elite Box Set: Volume Two

Mafia Elite Box Set: Volume Two by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

5 Stars

 

Mafia Elite Box Set Volume Two contains Books 4 – 7 in the Mafia Elite series by Amy McKinley. This rounds out the series, so if you have yet to read the first three books, or Volume One Box Set, then I highly recommend that you do before starting this, Volume two. Yes, the books could be read as standalones, but together they provide a richer reading experience, as well as painting a larger picture, one you won’t want to miss.
This is such a stellar series- which just gets better and better with each new instalment, and I really am hard-pressed to choose a favourite from amongst them all because they are all so brilliant!
The series, and this box set, brings fantastic mafia romance- romantic suspense at its best, with plenty of action, danger, drama, intrigue, mafia politics, chemistry, passion, steam, tension, emotion, hidden agendas, dramatic developments, and so, so much more.
What are you waiting for? Grab yourself a copy and dive in…. you won’t be disappointed!

The Box Set contains:

Savage Secrets (Book #4):
Marco had thought his love died years ago. But he is about to discover that isn’t the case when he’s approached with an arranged marriage deal. Danger is circling and she needs his help if she is to cheat death for real. GAH!!!! Love Marco and Elena. Love this series so hard. One of my favourites. Each book just gets better and better! Highly recommended.

Ruthless Heir (Book 5):
Here we get his is Luc and Summer’s story- and WOW, Ms. McKinley certainly didn’t hold back with this story, keeping me on edge and completely invested in the characters and the story, right from the very beginning. I didn’t come up for air until I had devoured every word. I loved all the interconnected details, secrets, tension, danger, and intriguing threads that Ms. McKinley is weaving through her stories, and series. It makes for riveting reading. I am completely addicted, and I can’t wait for my next fix!!!

Collateral Damage (Book #6):
I was so excited that we finally get Trey’s story. And what a story it is… WOW! Another fantastic addition to the series, and it’s getting harder and harder for me to choose a favourite because they are all sooooo good. We have met Trey previously through the series, as he is Sofia (Book #2) and Marco’s (Book #4) brother. His family is ‘the mafia’. But Trey isn’t really involved in the family business on a day-to-day level as he is a doctor working in a local hospital. But that’s not to say he doesn’t ‘contribute’ when needed. Trey is called on to help out on a kidnapping – and becomes more tangled in the situation than he desired. Especially since he and the kidnapping victim have some pre-existing chemistry. Queue the sparks and sizzle. But danger lurks and things are not quite what they may seem. What happens makes for an exciting read.

Rivals (Book #7):
This is Mia and Nico’s story- and wow, you’d better buckle yourself in for this one. When Mia needs help, she turns to Nico for help… Nico is intrigued as she’s the ‘enemy’. There’s far more than their hearts at stake, and you know what they say about ‘no good deed goes unpunished’- so what happens here makes for quite a riveting read. You won’t want to miss this exciting story… but be prepared to develop a taste for Ms. McKinley’s stories. One book won’t be enough.

Seriously, if you love mafia romance, and/or romantic suspense, then you definitely won’t want to miss this exciting story/series!!!
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Amy McKinley!

Collateral Damage (Mafia Elite, #6)Collateral Damage by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Trey is one of the best surgeons around and for all outward appearances is a saint. Everyone who meets him is instantly smitten with him and his charming demeanor. The nurses he works with, both young and old alike, swoon over him and fight to get his attention. Trey, however, is not interested in anyone since losing his one and only true love. This, along with his involvement in the Mafia, are things that Trey does not openly share with many. Then he meets Hailey at a charity event for the hospital and he finds himself attracted to her. Feeling as though he is betraying the memory of the love he lost Trey puts Hailey out of his mind. Hailey, feeling hurt after being rejected by Trey, also tries to put him out of her mind.

All of that suddenly changes when Trey’s boss at the hospital asks for Trey’s help to save his stepdaughter, Hailey, after she is abducted. He is aware of Trey’s involvement in the Mafia and feels that having Trey help is the best option because of Trey’s connections. He also does not want to risk police involvement for his own sordid reasons. Before long, Trey has found Hailey and when she explains what her stepfather has done Trey and Hailey decide to team up. Together they follow a trail of money that leads them farther and farther into danger as they unearth dark secrets that put both of their lives at risk.

Trey is the ultimate blend of good guy and bad guy mixed perfectly together in one sexy package. Hailey is a girl on a mission to stop her stepfather from his self-serving ways. Together Trey and Hailey make a great team as they fight evil and corruption together. I really enjoyed reading to see what would become of them and if they would realize their feelings for each other. I was intrigued by the secrets they unravelled and completely thrown off guard by the twist at the end. I highly recommend this book!

Hailey is hell-bent on ruining her stepfather so much so as to set him up. She’s an intelligent hacker who only has one person in her life to trust since her mother doesn’t seem to care one way or the other how she feels about things. Trey is part of the Mafia but also an incredible surgeon and caring man deep down. Once he is brought into the loop to bring Hailey home things turn into MORE, so much MORE for Trey and Hailey. I really enjoyed reading this story and learning as it unfolded the mysteries of it. The love Trey and Hailey have for one another is unconditional.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Oh my goodness! My first meeting with Hailey was rather frightful ! She’s on her way to meet her stepdad when she gets taken by men in ski masks , what a way to start !!!!!

Trey , our hot doc is quite the hot commodity amongst the ladies and he’s quite oblivious to it all and Sandy , his older charge nurse is most efficient in “ protecting “ him from all this unwanted attention from his “ fans “ 😂🤦‍♀️but what do you expect !? He’s HOT , a doctor and part of the mafia family 😳🔥 and he’s lost the barista he dated , he pretends he’s ok but that man is hurting 😥

When Hailey gets taken , her stepdad , who is married into the Carmichael family , that owns the hospital , reaches out to Trey for help , hoping his connections to the underworld would help ….but all is not as it seems and both Trey and I are a little suspicious of how the “ abduction “ went down , let’s call it , a sixth sense …..

Trey might be mafia but that heart of his is filled with kindness and compassion for his patients and that’s the biggest attraction for me but this is about how I feel is it !? This is about Trey and Hailey …..

I thoroughly enjoyed the twists , thrills and you definitely need to expect the unexpected 😉 that’s all I’m going to say 😱🫢

Despite the fact that this book can be read as a stand-alone I enjoyed it sooooo much that I’m going to binge read the previous 5 ❣️📕😱😉

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Collateral damage picks up shortly after Ruthless Heir ends. This is the long-awaited book that is Trey’s story. Trey always comes across as much softer than his family but in this book you discover that he is every bit as protective as the rest. He finds himself in an unpredictable scenario and watching him come to terms with the fact that the love he lost may not have been a once in a lifetime love makes this story pull the heartstrings more than any other book in the series. Enter Hailey who it seems has never really known true love and you find yourself desperately waiting to see what will happen. With her in danger Trey is forced to make hard decisions not just about how he currently spends his time but the future. You get to see all of the sides of Trey in this book and it makes you realize looking back on the rest that this silent hero is the backbone in more ways than one. I loved his interaction with Sandy and his siblings. I once again found myself rooting for this couple and that they would find happiness like the couples before them. I think the author does a tremendous job of giving you so much backstory and insight to each character while still holding back a little. If you enjoy a true romantic suspense with lots of action, some romance, and some humor thrown in then you will absolutely love this entire series and I highly recommend picking it up today.

This is book six in the Mafia Elite series. This can be read as a standalone.
This book is a dual point of view perspective of Trey and Hailey.
Trey La Rosa leads a double life as a surgeon at the local hospital and a surgeon for the mafia families. He meets Hailey again, will this be a second chance for them both?
A very character driven story, the authors definitely knows how to captivate you. I loved the danger of the story and how high the stakes were. This was a very action-packed romance I would highly recommend it.

This was such a good read. Even though it’s the sixth in the series, it can be enjoyed as a stand alone. Trey struggled with his past while pushing Hailey away. Little did he know, she could relate to him. The two of them have a chemistry that neither could deny. Watching their story unfold was both suspenseful and intriguing! I recommend this read!!

Collateral Damage (Mafia Elite Series Book 6) by Amy McKinley – Review by Jessica Stone

This is the first book I’ve read from this author or in this series, there are multiple books that come before this one but you do not have to have previously read those to understand this story. This story, Collateral damage, follows Hayley and Trey.

Trey still reeling from the death of his previous girlfriend meets Hayley prior to this book but chooses to walk away having not healed from his loss.
Months later Hayley gets kidnapped, and Trey is asked by Hayley’s step father Allen,(who sits on the board of the hospital Trey works at and Hayley’s mom owns)to find and save Hayley from whatever fate awaits her, Trey will do anything to get Hayley back.

After some crazy twist and turns Hayley and Trey end up in a twisted web of lies and secrets that just might tear them apart or worse one of them could wind up dead.

A very slow burn, friends to lovers, mafia romance, with just the right amount of action. I can’t wait to read more in this series. It introduces you to many faces who have their own books in the series and if they are as good as this one I’ll be on the edge of my seat the entire time.

Book 6 in the Mafia Elite Series doesn’t disappoint. We have Trey the one who became a doctor to help his family and the other Chicago mafia families is ready for a change. The change brings him in contact with Hailey a socialite, who he’s met before during an event.

Hailey has family baggage due to the tragic death of her father & older sister in a car accident. Her mother is a wreck because of the loss and Hailey has to find her way through life without her mother’s support. This leads to some bad relationships with men. Can she trust Trey and work together to become a couple?

The author creates characters that are easy to connect with, I love the way the mafia couples interact with the new couple, and I can’t help but root for Trey and Hailey to find their way together. As always, I couldn’t put the book down because I was sucked into the story

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Collateral Damage is the sixth book in the Mafia Elite series. This is a great series, with plenty of fun characters to get to know and a good mix of romance and suspense.
In Collateral Damage, we get a chance to learn more about Trey, who has been in the background of the other books. Balancing his role in the mafia with his ER duties is pretty all-consuming, and Trey has been losing himself in his work after his girlfriend died from a bullet meant for him.
One of my favourite characters in this book is Katherine, a family friend who Trey is helping get the treatment she needs. She’s certainly a force to be reckoned with, and I hope we see more of her in the future!
I would recommend reading the series in order, starting with No Way Out. There are a lot of characters and backstory to get to know, and the stories are all very enjoyable.
This book gets five stars from me! I always look forward to these books and can’t wait until the next one comes out in the fall (and Nico finally gets a chance at romance…)

This is book six in the series and true to the nature of these books can be read as either a stand alone or as part of the series. We focus our attention on a minor league player in these stories up until now. Hot and steamy ER Doc Trey. We don’t know much about him from the previous books, but we learn a lot in this one. After he meets Hailey, she ends up getting kidnapped and adventure, anxiety and plots ensue. True to her nature the author makes sure the reader is on the edge of one’s seat with a death grip on the book. She is fast becoming one of my favorite authors.

Collateral Damage is book 6 in the Mafia Elite Series. While each book can be a standalone, I highly recommend reading the other books in order before reading this one. Collateral Damage focuses on the love story of Trey La Rosa and a young woman named Hailey Carmichael. Trey has absolutely no time to find a woman as he is in his residence for becoming a surgeon and is also the Mafia’s doctor. Trey recently lost his last girlfriend, and he is not looking to ever lose another person he loves. The two main characters meet at a function and Trey is slowly pulled into helping Hailey. As they continue to work together, his feelings grow enormous for her, and he is not willing to lose her for any reason. Amy McKinley never disappoints, and that is also clear in this book. This series is one of the best series I have read in a long time. There is an excellent mixture of spice, romance, and action. Her details on each man will make your mouth water. In the other books, Trey is on the outskirts, and I am glad that in this book we get a up close and personal look into his life.

This book is a page turner for sure! At the beginning there is an index of “the families” don’t let that distract you or deter you if you haven’t read any of the other stories in this series.

This story flows so good that you will not need to go back and see who is who, as you are reading it falls into place and explains for yourself. This is a suspenseful and romantic crime book however not scary or overly sexual, just enough to keep you wanting to read whats coming next. I love the family side of the book, you don’t need to be mafia to have the family connection this family has. We could all learn from their weekly dinners.

Many twist you don’t see coming at the end so read away and let this book take you in all the directions.

Reader beware it will make you want to go and read the other stories in this series and her other series!

Collateral Damage is a great addition to the Mafia Elite series. This sixth book tells us the story of Trey and Hailey. Hailey is a down to earth girl in a rich girl world. She doesn’t fit in and since losing her sister and dad in a car accident, she has struggled to find her place of acceptance. Trey is an ER doctor and also holds commitments to the Five Families as the mafia doc on call. He’s a busy man with no room for love until he reconnects with Hailey, his sister Sofia’s acquaintance. Trey steps into a kidnapping and ransom plot when Hailey’s stepdad, Allen, asks for his help in relocating her. Trey takes Hailey into his protection and in doing so changes the course of both their lives with an undeniable mutual attraction. This was a good addition and I like getting more storylines from the supporting family members in the Five Families. I love the family dynamic and the willingness to go the extra mile for those you love. I’ve read all the books in this series and I highly recommend them. They can be read as standalone books or start from the beginning. Great book, even better series!

Mafia bad boy with a hefty side of sweet & kindness. Trey is by far the kindest, most down to earth mafia man in the family. [IMO] That’s what stands out the most to me to start about this book. Then we have Hailey who is the bomb! She has the perfect combination of being super fierce, smart, brave, a side of bad@ss-ery, and being strong. Perfect match! They go through roller coasters and some situations but as always the family comes together and they handle what they need to. There was a few moments where I thought, oh I know how this is going to play out, and who is the real
villain, but in the end I was pretty off. So you might think you know but you don’t! This book kept me on my toes, and had me counting down the minutes until I could continue reading it! (When I would be at work). Can’t wait for more!!

Book 6 in the series. Technically each story is a standalone novel but the stories are intertwined so it’s recommended to read the series in order.

This right here is how you write a suspenseful romance without the romance aspect overtaking your story. I have to say that this one has been my favorite of the series so far. The tension you feel between Hailey and Trey is palpable.

I really enjoyed Hailey’s character: her strength, her tenacity, and her ability to go after what she wants. I loved the push and pull that happens between her and Trey.

Trey is the smart one of the LaRosa mafia family; he’s the Family doctor. He also has his own connections and strives to help the family in other ways, but he’s protecting his heart after the last woman he wanted died due to his Family life. He doesn’t want to let anyone in, but can’t stop feeling the connection to Hailey once they’ve been reconnected.

I absolutely loved the banter that occurs between Hailey and Trey. They’re both strong headed and doing things for what they view is the right reasons, and between that and the desire that spark between them, the tension is oh so enjoyable.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Trey La Rosa leads a double life, on one hand he is a surgeon at the local hospital and on the other he is the one who stitches up and treats all those within the Five Families Mafia in Chicago, but leading this double life is exhausting for him and one day, he hopes that he can manage his time better. Hailey Carmichael is the daughter to rich parents who have her life planned out for her as a socialite running in the same circles they do, but she wants more, however, she isn’t sure how to get it, not in the least the man she has had a crush on since the first time she saw him.

It is a day full of tension for Hailey as she has to confront someone important to her about something she is dreading talking about, but she takes a couple of deep breaths and decides to go for it before she buckles and backs off before she gets what she wants, that is until she is kidnapped and thrown into the back of a van right in front of the person she was about to talk to. For Trey, it is just another day on call at the hospital where he does his usual rounds and interacts with his patients so that he can make the best decisions he can for them, however, when he is called in to the office of one of his superiors and finds out that a woman he has tried to forget has been kidnapped, memories surface of the first and last time he saw or spoke to her and how grief for his first love got in the way, he decides then and there that he is going to rescue her, whatever it takes.

As Trey uses his resources to rescue her, the scene he finds is not the one he expected, but for Hailey, he is the last person she expected to come to her rescue, however, as he keeps her out of harms way and finds out more information behind the motive for the kidnapping, they reach an agreement to work together to follow the funds together and uncover the full reasons. As they spend more time together in his home, the attraction they felt the first time they met resurfaces and they both struggle to maintain the distance between them and the one thing they crave the most, each other, however, will they be able to uncover the secrets and reveal the truth before their new found relationship is severed, again? This is a compelling romantic suspense which will hook you in and take you for a ride which is full of secrets, lies, threats and revelations with plenty of action thrown in for good measure, as this second chance romance plays out amid danger approaching from every direction.

Welcome back to the Mafia Elite life. This story is about Hailey and the good doctor, Trey. Even though these two have met before and the timing was off, the spark was ignited within them both. And Fate began to work her magic.

I love how “innocent” Trey seems, like he doesn’t notice all of the nurses trying to be next to him or catch his eye. How sweet he is. He wants to save everyone. He understands he can’t but he sure tries to. Even Hailey needs to be saved.

Hailey will do anything to prove to her family she isn’t a waste, to prove she is worthy. She has a crappy family, a mother who doesn’t know she’s there and a step father who is sneaky and slimy. Hailey didn’t know she needed saving until her plan backfires. It seems the good doctor is ready to save the day.

This story should be read in order as it is book 6 and while it can be read as a standalone, reading the other books will give you a better feel for the closeness of the family. I love this series and look forward to the next one.

Trey, the family doctor and local hospital doctor is front and center in this story. He’s exhausted overworked and has known heartbreak and has no time for love.

That is until he meets Hailey, from an affluent family who doesn’t really fit into the rich prestigious world she tries hard to keep her appearance in until a family secret rocks her to the core.

these two come together so naturally and mesh so well you can’t help but instantly fall in love with their story and you had heard of trey in the other stories but learning about how he ticks is a story you don’t want to miss.

another fantastic stand alone, but all of these books intertwine and you can learn more about all the characters in each story… I’m sure there will be more as there is definitely more for us to learn!

Another hit by one of my favorite authors! I love how in this series she has focused not only on the main members of the mafia but also some of the siblings, which is exactly what she has done in writing about Trey in this book. We met Trey in previous books, but I really enjoyed learning more about him and watching him find love in this book. As always, she has written the story of this couple beautifully, making it easy to see the connection between the two of them from the moment they meet. From what I can see, there isn’t a next book in the series, which makes me sad, so I really hope the series continues!

This is the sixth book of the Mafia Elite series. It Follows Trey and Haileys story and an interesting one at that. With him living two lives one as an amazing sweet doctor and the other as a member of the Mafia which he is not all too fond of since it cost him his first love. Now he has to use those connections to save Hailey from her kidnappers but being who he is, he knows there’s more going on than meets the eye. Will he fight the chemistry between them or give in. You have to read to find out and I highly recommend you do.

This was an OK book for me. Was it my favorite in the series? No. But I still like it. This was a second chance mafia romance that was sweet as well. You can read this book as a stand-alone, or as part of the series. You should give this book a try and see how you like it.
